GDT 4/27/25: Braves @ Diamondbacks - Schwellenbach Brings the Broom

[msstate7]

Why would they throw anything offspeed to Olson?

 

[mfree80]

Ozzie huh?

 

[msstate7]

Olson, if Ozzie comes up it's over. You have to swing

 

[CyYoung31]

I just turned it off. Zero reason to watch Albies bat here.

Pop up

 

[USMA76]

Can’t wait to see the middle of the lineup’s ABs in this spot. Should be fun.

I've seen this movie already.

 

[msstate7]

PH murphy

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Now sweep Colorado and still have a great 5-1 trip

 

[Slippyjms]

8-6

 

[mfree80]

Would this game have been different if Eli was hitting in Ozzies spot?

 

[Hudson2]

i knew it was over when Albies came up.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Well. At least still two out of three. Go to Denver and take it to the Rockies

 

[msstate7]

Why wouldn't you PH Murphy there? F Ozzie's feelings... he's a garbage player

 

[Tapate50]

He’s degraded to such a bad hitter, and it’s awful to watch

 

[UNCBlue012]

Man, the Braves likely win if they called the clear check-swing. It's pretty amazing they likely should have swept.

 

[Strike3urout]

It‘s a fastball, Ozzie squares it up, and hits a harmless fly ball to medium depth center.

This is what is looks like when a hitter ranks in the 8th percentile in EV, hard hit% and bat speed

 

[Tapate50]

How many did Ozzie strand today ?

 

[msstate7]

Start Arcia at 2b tomorrow. Send a message to Ozzie that he has to play better

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Ozzie does need a game off.

 

[CyYoung31]

Start Arcia at 2b tomorrow. Send a message to Ozzie that he has to play better

Not sure that’s going to do anything. A player with declining bat speed can only do so much.
